Problem solved, I guess

The chandelier over the dining table is no longer a problem. That's because it's gone. Fixing it seemed highly unlikely, but even more importantly, Ellen has never liked it. I liked it a lot when it worked properly, i.e., when you could use the downward-facing bulbs; but not so much since they quit working. We need more light, so we'll need to get something to replace it.

Gone!!!

Work accomplished! Ellen is meeting Julie later this morning and the two of them are going to spend the weekend in Ogunquit, ME - something they have never done together. That should be nice. Harry will be here with me, so I don't have to go somewhere.
